Outspoken

In an outspoken person,how much of their mind can be hidden? what's buried inside are complaints,regrets,appreciation. all waiting to be expressed and released .sometimes there are words in your mind that are hard to express the obstacle to this could be external. or it could be internal,this is a dilemma I face as a person, as an artist,when I face myself. I love to dreaming and fantasising. I 'm often in my own world imagining things. Sometimes I even mumble to myself. It's then I realize I have so much buried deep inside, all waiting to be released. Yet when I'm in front of other people,a calm front covers up the dynamic emotions on the inside.

The piece is of pure real life experiences, a true expression of the heart. I put a non-dance body as a storyteller on stage.It didn't matter to me this time how beautiful each movement was. I went back to the basics of dance:using the body to express what's inside and present the movements of life on stage.
